Cannes - Events

The International Film Festival held in April-May is of particular importance.

This festival is one of the biggest events on the international film calendar and attracts millions of stars, fans and journalists every year.

The annual Cannes American Festival has been taking place every July since 1985. The events highlight the connection between local and American artists. In this spirit, many well known Americans are invited to perform in the festival.

The program offers piano recitals, jazz and popular music concerts, and modern dance performances.

The Nuits Musicales Du Suquet is an annual outdoors festival that runs from mid to late July in the courtyard of the Church of Notre Dame d'Espérance. The festival includes both large symphonic concerts and smaller solo performances by pianists and vocalists alike. The repertoire is equally varied.
